Fun live entertainment
I've now been a few times to The Golden Sheaf Hotel and it still amazes me how many people it attracts — it's such a enormous place. It's definitely one of the most happening places in Double Bay and has an excellent live band that pumps out plenty of danceable favourites. Food is reasonably priced for a pub bistro, especially one in Double Bay Double Pay. A nice starter to share is the Mezze plate with dukkah, olives, dips and sour dough bread ($12). Their Angel hair pasta with cured chilli, garlic, lemon and parsley with prawns ($25) seems to always be available on the menu and they make it with nice plump prawns. Steak frites – Grilled 'Grainge' rump 350g, eschalot butter and hand-cut chips ($25) for a protein hit is enjoyed with large rustic cut potato chips although the tiny side salad could do with some extra dressing. The reasonably priced Caesar salad with bacon, croutons, egg and parmesan dressing ($13) is fairly large and can also be ordered with chicken. My Garden style salad ($10) is tightly packed in with fresh ingredients although a little hard to eat out of the bowl without worrying about spillage — a more open bowl would be appreciated.

hi sarah, you're lucky to be so close. i hope the mega crowds don't disturb you too much when they're all leaving though. will keep you posted when i'm next visiting. is there anything on the bistro menu you've had which you recommend trying? :-)
